Sword missiles

It appears that the US has adapted the Hellfire missile to carry sword blades that deploy instead of explosives. Guided weapons have gotten so accurate that explosives aren’t always needed. This reminds me of my favorite weapon concept, the “Rods from God” Frankly the US should deploy this if they can figure how to get a lot of weight into orbit cheaply enough. It could solve the Iran/North Korea bunker problems (h/t to Jeff “Inch High” Groves for a reminder about the article above)
